Synopsis:          Moderate: fontconfig security and bug fix update
Advisory ID:       SLSA-2016:2601-2
Issue Date:        2016-11-03

Security Fix(es):

fontconfig. A local attacker could create a specially crafted cache file
to trigger arbitrary free() calls, which in turn could lead to arbitrary
code execution. (CVE-2016-5384)
